Using Your Evinrude E-TEC Outboard

Oil Requirements

Evinrude Brand Oils
NOTICE
When operating in conditions under 32°F
(0°C), Evinrude XD100 oil must be used.
Evinrude outboard oils are formulated to give
best engine performance while controlling
piston and combustion chamber deposits,
providing superior lubrication, and ensuring
maximum spark plug life.
The following outboard oils are recommended
for use in your Evinrude E-TEC outboard:
• Evinrude XD100;
• Evinrude XD50; or
• Evinrude XD30.
Evinrude XD100 Oil
Evinrude XD100 oil is preferred for your
Evinrude E-TEC outboard. This synthetic
formula oil provides uncompromised lubrica-
tion and superior performance, even in ex-
treme conditions—especially
temperatures down to 0°F (-17°C).
If requested, an authorized dealer can pro-
gram your Evinrude E-TEC outboard EMM for
the exclusive use of Evinrude XD100. Only
an authorized Evinrude dealer can pro-
gram your outboard for this optional ben-
efit. Oil consumption is reduced if the
outboard is programmed for exclusive use of
Evinrude XD100 as compared to using a con-
ventional oil. The XD100 oil setting is not
available on all models.
IMPORTANT: If your EMM has been pro-
grammed for Evinrude XD100, DO NOT use
any other oil unless in an emergency. If Evin-
rude XD100 is temporarily unavailable, a
one-time-only use of an oil that meets
NMMA TC-W3 certification standards is al-
lowed. If you discontinue using Evinrude
XD100, you MUST first return to your Dealer
to have the EMM reprogrammed back to the
original factory setting.

Oil and Fuel

Other Oils
If Evinrude brand oils are not available, you
must use an oil that meets NMMA TC-W3 cer-
tification standards.
Failure to follow oil specifications could void
the engine warranty if a lubrication-related
failure occurs.

Oiling System Information

If a "LOW OIL" warning occurs, you have a
limited amount of time of normal operation be-
fore running out of oil. Refill the oil tank with
approved oil as soon as possible.
Refer to Engine Monitoring on page 44.
Check the oil tank level frequently. Always
"top off" your oil tank prior to prolonged usage
or long trips.
New outboards are programmed to use addi-
tional oil during the first two hours of operation
above 2000 RPM.
Always keep an extra supply of outboard oil in
the boat. Refer to Oil Requirements on page
18.
If you run the oil tank empty, you MUST refill
in cold
the oil tank and prime the oil system before
using the engine. Refer to Filling the Oil
Tank on page 19, Filling the Remote Oil
Tank System on page 20 and Priming the
Oil System on page 20.
